Hi Scar, When you say you are experiencing hard freezes, can you give a time frame? >From you email it sounds like this:
* Installed Wheezy (works 100% perfectly?) * Some time passes * Now, it hard freezes (at boot? after a minute? after an hour? one week?) I don't have problems with my Sun Ultra 80 or SB 2500 on Linux. I also don't keep them on for weeks at a time though -- although I used to without issues.
